I know that I am writing “Day 8” on April 11th. This I am trying to be OK with. It feels a little difficult being OK with it. But I believe that I’m doing better with that (more in the next post I think, or maybe it’s the one after that?) Right now I want […]

Today (April 6th) I was having some thoughts about how my “body works” and how a lot of these things that apparently are “very strange” are actually quite common with autistic people. So I think there are a number of different things that come up with that. Unusual Gait Clothing Annoyances Pain Hypermobility Body Language […]

Yesterday I had hoped to have a post ready for today (again). So instead I am writing today’s post, well today. I’d also hoped that I would have tomorrow’s post written yesterday.

Welcome to 30 Days of Autism Acceptance. This series is the first major series that we are publishing. I am writing the content throughout the month of Autism Acceptance Month, in April 2018 and perhaps beyond. Well, actually, I’m starting to write this in March, as I am already having “issues” which I need to find […]

Gosh, that’s a long title. We’ll go for this. Over the month of April I am working on a series of posts “30 Days of Autism Acceptance”. I may end up continuing into May if I don’t get it done before then. So, the point of this series is to write a good amount of […]
